Excellent plugin. However I'm having trouble with images. There are 2 upload fields on my registration form, but when I edit the results form on (for example) wp-admin/admin.php?page=participants-database-edit_participant&action=edit&id=1327 it removes the image unless I re-upload it before saving.

Also I'd like a way of actually displaying the images uploaded on the participants listing page - is there a (simple!) way please?

Hmmm, both of those things should be working fine. I don't understand whats happening on the record edit page...is the image missing when you go to edit the record?

Actually, both of these things lead me to believe there's a problem with the path to the images that are uploaded. Have you changed the "Image Upload Location" setting? If so, you may want to go back to the default setting (this will almost certainly work) or look at making sure your setting is correct. The default setting is: wp-content/plugins/participants-database/uploads/

The images are in the default folder wp-content/plugins/participants-database/uploads

The problem is after editing the record from here* there's no way to see which participant uploaded them as they're removed when you return to the records page*! That's why I'd like them to show (as a thumbnail?) in [pdb_list] and admin*.

OK, bw3em, well, I don't know what's happening with the images disappearing. That's a little mysterious. Lets see: in the admin, looking at the list of records, do you see the name of the file in the column for the image? That all you should see, an image doesn't appear there. Now, when you use the [pdb_list] shortcode, the image should appear in the list as a thumbnail.

This sounds a bit like there's some kind if issue with the server, permissions not right, or perhaps the PHP memory limit is too low. I don't know, I'm just guessing as I don't have much information, and as I said...it's all working fine in my tests here.

Ah you're right - I've checked the source code and the image should indeed be showing BUT the URL is wrong. There is no / between the domain link and wp-content/plugins/.....
I've tried adding one before /wp-content/plugins/participants-database/uploads/ in 'Image Upload Location' to no avail.

I do see the name of the image file in the admin column, but if I edit the record it no longer appears here!

Appreciate you taking the time to help me :-)

I'm also struggling with date formats. As mentioned by someone else it defaults to 1970... I'm not entirely sure what format should be used to enter dates (e.g. Month dd, yyyy or dd-mm-yyyy, etc.) but ultimately I want it to output the age - any tips?

RE the images... I have tried loading [pdb_list] on other PCs and they still don't show up - link still missing '/' in source code yet still showing in 'Image Upload Location' (as above).

Also have tried editing/adding to record with image in admin and reloaded [pdb_list] page, and the image is now missing.
Would it not be better to have thumbnails showing in the admin so participants could add to their images rather than overwrite them or delete them when updating their records? Thanks again, Em

How do I make the text on the participant data list on:http://nyqp.org/wordpress/?page_id=733
show thru ? The data is hidden behind ?
on second thought, give me your e-mail and I will send a screen print

I'm Using Participants Database Version 1.4.7 Plugin on my website and it is exactly the right plugin for my service. It is so easy to use and very powerful. My query is belos:

When entering data into the Participants Database Plugin fields incorrectly the Missing or Invalid Field Error Messages which appear on the sign in page appear in a pink/white box, showing the text error message in white.

The page colour of the Online Marketer theme which I am using are blue. How do I change the colour of the Missing or Invalid box error messages, i.e. the pink/white box and the white text to a better contrasting colour so that they can be read more easily by the person filling out the form.

This is a change that needs to be made in your theme stylesheet to override the plugin CSS. If you don't know what that means, I'd suggest checking out a tutorial on editing your WordPress CSS stylesheet.

I tried to change the colour of the Sign Up error message box in the CSS stylesheet of the theme I'm using at present, but I was unsuccessful. I tested the Sign Up page using a few different themes and the error box background appears to be a light pink colour in all the themes I tested. Is it possible to change the pink border, and the light pink background colour in the error message box to darker shades of pink in Participants Database Plugin?

Just to let you know my problem is resolved. I tried the fix you gave me, but I wasn't successful. In the meantime I also contacted the theme developers and they sent me a fix. As advised by them, I uploaded the Plugin Jetpack, using the CSS edit feature I entered the code they gave me into the theme stylesheet, and it worked. Now I can use this theme successfully as well as your Participants Database Plugin on my website. This is a win, win outcome - happy days.
